Xu Shuo changed into his regular clothes and wore a long white skirt that covered his legs, making him look pure and fragile.
When he opened the bathroom door and came out, Lan Ruo was standing at the door. The girl had a stiff face, her slightly bloodshot eyes stared at her, and she subconsciously exerted force on her hands.
Although he was not shaking like a sieve like when they first met, his body was still trembling slightly.
This nervous look made Officer Zhang, who was standing at the door, squint his eyes slightly and look at her without any trace.
"What's wrong, Lan Ruo?" Xu Shuo said, with a smile on his face and innocent eyes.
"Qiuzi... you, are you feeling better?" Lan Ruo originally plucked up the courage to look at her, but within a second, she lowered her head in fear.
Xu Shuo smiled and said with the girl's usual playful tone: "Thank you for your concern. I just caught a cold. I feel much better after exercising just now."
Lan Ruo murmured: "Then remember to have a good rest after you go back."
Xu Shuo responded, then made way for her to go in. Lan Ruo grabbed her clothes, rushed in almost immediately, and then quickly closed the door and locked it.
Behind the bathroom door, Lan Ruo was no longer as calm as before, clutching her chest and breathing rapidly, with panic and panic on her face.
In the small bathroom, under the cold light, the girl's pale face and cold sweat were reflected in the mirror. She was more distracted than she thought.
Lan Ruo walked to the sink, turned on the faucet and splashed water on her face several times.
After calming down a little, Lan Ruo couldn't help but worry. Qiuzi's attitude today was really strange. Did she forget or...
Will she call the police?
Could it be that he is secretly preparing to take revenge on himself?
No, she should have died last night!
But today, whether it's actions or dancing, it's still the same Qiuzi as before!
It’s not someone else pretending to be someone else, it’s really Qiuzi!
The more Lan Ruo thought about it, the more frightened she became. She held cold tap water in her hands and kept throwing it at her face. The water droplets spread along her hair, across her chin, and finally hit the black shadow on the ground.
She folded her arms tremblingly and stared at the half-soaked girl in the mirror, her fearful eyes gradually turning into viciousness.
Or, kill again?
…
"Sister Zhang, do I look good?"
Xu Shuo, wearing a little white skirt, walked around in front of Officer Zhang and smiled sadly.
Officer Zhang: "..."
I don’t know why, but the girl looks a little weird now compared to when we met in the morning.
The two of them didn't leave the dance studio too far and sat down at a nearby restaurant. It was still raining outside and the sky was oppressive, leaving no room for breathing.
There were more pedestrians and cars on the street at noon. The two of them were sitting by the window. When they looked up, they could see the dance studio window not far away.
Officer Zhang handed the menu to Xu Shuo in a gentlemanly manner, and while he was ordering, a gentle man wearing a black gold-rimmed robe walked over. He nodded to the two of them and sat next to them consciously.
Dressed like this, it means you are either a middle school student or you are in a special position.
Xu Shuo glanced at the cross necklace around the other person's neck, calmly looked away, and then ordered three steaks.
"Qiuzi, this is a friend of mine. He is now a priest in the church." After the man sat down, Officer Zhang introduced her in a friendly manner.
"Nice to meet you." Xu Shuo put down the menu and gave him a smile.
Under the gloomy sky, the girl's face was illuminated by the orange lights in the store, and a dark gray surface was outlined on the glass, which was strange and eerie.
The priest put his right palm on his chest and nodded politely to her with a smile on his lips.
The waiter took away the menu and put down three glasses of water. The three of them sat in a booth by the window. The orange light looked very warm and welcoming, but the atmosphere suddenly became very strange.
Xu Shuo held up his chin, looked at them with an unclear smile and said, "Sister Zhang, what are you going to do when you come out to me today?"
"The man who called the police last night has been found," Officer Zhang said.
"Oh?" Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows slightly.
"But he saw it wrong." Officer Zhang lowered his eyes, drank water and whispered: "When he was passing by last night, he saw two shadows on the window and mistakenly thought that a murder had occurred. He was frightened.
I called the police directly.”
Xu Shuo laughed softly a few times, looked up at her, and said nothing.
Officer Zhang asked again, with a somewhat sharp tone: "Qiuzi, were you really the only one in the dance studio last night?"
At this time, the priest, who always had a gentle smile, also looked over. There was no inquiring look in his eyes, and his aura gave people a relaxing feeling like a spring breeze.
Xu Shuo tapped his fingertips on the table, as if thinking, and said with a distressed look on his face: "Last night, actually I don't remember clearly. I practiced too late and was already a little tired. It seems...Lan Ruo came to see me?
"
"Lan Ruo?"
Officer Zhang thought of the nervous little girl in the lounge just now.
Xu Shuo nodded, with an innocent face: "I had a quarrel with her yesterday because of dancing. She seemed to come over to apologize to me in the evening? But I was practicing and didn't pay much attention. After I finished, the dance
She is no longer in the room."
What he said was ambiguous and a little weird. Officer Zhang frowned slightly and was about to ask again when a voice suddenly came from beside him:
"Miss Akiko."
The quiet priest suddenly spoke. With a gentle smile, he raised his hand to cover the girl's palm on the table, and asked softly: "Did you feel unwell after that?"
Xu Shuo was silent for a while. He stared at the man's hand and said sadly: "Sir, I feel uncomfortable right now."
The waiter came over with the dishes, happened to hear this sentence, and subconsciously lowered his eyes.
Officer Zhang on the side: "..."
She couldn't help but glare at the priest who was acting erratically. She had said before that she was just trying to scare him away, but now he hadn't even tried a few words to test him, but this guy had taken action directly!
The waiter put down a piece of steak and left quickly. The priest withdrew his hand without changing his expression.
"I am a priest. When I saw Miss Qiuzi just now, I always felt that you were not in a good state." The priest smiled lightly and said, "I suspect that you may have been haunted by a "nightmare" that night."
"Just because someone said he saw a murder?" Xu Shuo took back his hand and rubbed it. His cold skin was now very hot after being touched by this person just now.
"You also said that you can't remember if anyone has been here."
"You idiots like to guide everything to the supernatural."
"Miss Qiuzi, this is a sacred profession."
"Officer Zhang, you are looking for me today not just because of what happened last night, right?" Xu Shuo ignored him and suddenly turned to look at the female police officer on the side.
"Miss Qiuzi, you should also——"
"Let's have lunch first."
Before the priest could interrupt again, Xu Shuo pushed the medium-rare steak in front of him in a pitiful tone. His dark, lifeless eyes revealed a sense of strangeness, and he said with a gentle smile: "Don't waste it."
